Test Drive the 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport

When the Land Rover Discovery Vision concept made its first
public appearance at the 2014 New York International Auto Show, it was
important for a couple of reasons. First, it was smaller -- and especially,
sportier -- than its predecessors. It also marked the beginning of a new Land
Rover Discovery sub-brand, and with it, a new direction for the company; the
Discovery unit would subtly shift emphasis, keeping the luxury for which Land
Rover has become known, but also signaling a return to its off-road roots. The 2016
Land Rover Discovery Sport available at Land Rover Indianapolis represents
the transition from concept to reality.

2016 is the second model year for the Land Rover Discovery
Sport, which replaced the Land Rover LR2 in the 2015 model year. After a series
of redesigns on the Range Rover side of the family, the Land Rover Discovery
Sport lets us know that the Land Rover side won't be left out in the cold. Its
exterior is minimalist in the best way possible -- there isn't a single line
out of place, and nothing feels overdone or extraneous -- and the tasteful
interior follows suit, with everything in its right place.

That philosophy continues under the hood. All trim levels
(SE, HSE, HSE Luxury) feature four-wheel drive, and are powered by a 2.0 liter
four-cylinder engine that puts out 240 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque. That
engine is paired to a 9-speed automatic transmission. Standard features include
Terrain Response, Hill Descent Control, stability controls, rearview camera,
rear parking sensors, a 5 inch TFT instrument cluster, and Land Rover InControl
with an 8 inch full-color display. This may be a compact crossover, but its
feature set is anything but small.

Other developments are in the works for our Indianapolis, IN
customers in the 2017 Land Rover model year, including a seven-seat Range Rover
Discovery taking the place of the Land
Rover LR4, and the likelihood of some new design elements and new
technology on the Land Rover Discovery Sport. For now, though, the 2016 Land
Rover Discovery Sport has plenty to offer luxury SUV enthusiasts in and around
Indianapolis. We invite you to Land Rover Indianapolis -- located at 4620 East
96th Street in Indianapolis, IN, and just a phone call away at 855-263-8905 --
to see this luxury crossover for yourself, and to schedule a test drive.
